1′Pumper’ with wooden struts and pump connector, mounted on two thick boards cart it’s on not included! — this is a water well Pump Jack with a built in 1 hp hit and miss type gasoline engine — this is the earliest version of this little engine set-up before’Fairbanks Morse’ was added to the casting — circa 1911 and likely very rare — – measures app. 24 by 33 in. By about 17 in. Wide – weighs app. Overall rust with some traces of the original finish [looks like dark green] and traces of gold leaf on the’Eclipse’ lettering — this was frozen when found, but cleaning, oil and some pipe wrench scoring on the flywheel shaft broke it free and it rotates pretty well now — I do not think the flywheel pulley is original — no fuel mixer, no fuel tank, no spark plug found with this: not sure if anything else is missing or not — wood struts are pretty rough but they exist / the pump connector piece also exists but has a chip on the connector, as well as a weld repair — – from the Smokstak site:… There is the early No. 1 which just has Eclipse cast on the cylinder and not patent. Then there are the later ones which has Fairbanks-Morse 1 Eclipse and the patent on the cylinder. Both of these are essentially the same and were rated at 1hp. They only had one flywheel with three holes. 2 seems to have gone through the same casting change between the early and late engines (addition of the patent date but they all seem to have Fairbanks-Morse on the cylinder). 2 has two six spoke flywheels. The 1A is very similar to the No. 1 although all the castings are different. The 1A has two three spoke flywheels. All of the Eclipse engines could be used for pretty much anything that they could be belted up to but there primary advertised use was for pumping… Looking in the BYB, Wendall states they started making the 2 little engines, in 1911, and that it was suppose to have been made through 1922, but their price book does not list it in 1919… Thank you for visiting our site.
